Briana Marie Lewis is a 30 year old cisfemale who goes by the pronouns she/her.
DOB: March 19 Occupation: Owner of the vintage clothing store, Nothing New Face claim: Laura Herrier Sexuality: bisexual
get to know the effervescent of doveport:
Briana mostly goes by Bri. And, no, not spelled like the cheese. Briana, at this point, feels weirdly formal to her and someone using it just shows how much they don’t know her.
Bri attended a 5 year college in Boston, MA, where she got her degree in Business. There she did three co-ops or 6-month internships with Talbots (a women’s clothing company), Wayfair, and the Garment District. The last of them, a small vintage and costume shop, was where she got her idea for her business.
Bri grew up in a small town, Kennebunkport, ME, where there were farms that stretched for miles and a bustling tourist business in the summer as vacationers flocked to their picturesque beaches. She loved the small town feel - how it felt like she knew everyone around and could walk into any shop in the Port and strike up a conversation with them about the day’s visitors or what their weekend had been like. When she lived other places after college, she always missed that community feel. Finding herself five years out of college and living in NC, working at a job she hated in Charlotte, eventually Bri decided that it was now or never. She’d always had big dreams of running her own store and settling down. Why should she have to wait any longer? So she found a property to lease in Doveport and never looked back. It’s been nearly four years since then and she couldn’t be happier with the decision she made. This town, even so many miles away, reminds her of home.
Growing up, Briana’s family didn’t have a ton of money. They lived in a converted summer cabin near Goose Rocks Beach where, in the summertime, they’d grow berries to make into a jam they’d sell in a booth on their front lawn. Her mother worked as a waitress in a local diner and her father was a farm hand for a man who lived about twenty minutes away. Her whole life, she’d known the value of a dollar since they were constantly trying to pinch pennies to make sure they could afford not only bills and groceries, but also to ensure they had some sort of savings to send Briana to college. Neither of her parents got to live up to their dreams, so Bri always knew she wanted to make them proud by living up to hers. The success she found in life - graduating summa cum laude, getting well paying jobs out of school, and finally starting her own business…those felt like a good start.
Bri would never claim to have any sort of fashion expertise, but seems to effortlessly pick out things that look good. Even on lazy days, her outfits never clash and it’s entirely out of her awareness. Maybe it’s part of her natural perfectionism. Maybe she just has a good eye for color. This talent was what led to her establishing Nothing New. She learned in school about how much the clothing industry contributed to waste every year and had always loved the thrill of going into a vintage shop and finding something really nice for wicked cheap, especially on her family’s limited budget. That became her business model - trying to find the nicest possible things to sell in the shop for the same prices as a Goodwill or Savers. It has been open for the past three years and she’s even looking to open up a branch a few towns over.
Bri was a competitive soccer player in high school, but after a foot injury sidelined her during her senior year, she dropped athletics entirely and did theatre in college. A member of several theatre groups on campus and frequent actor in department shows, despite being a non-major, she looks back fondly at her decision to show off her artistic side.
Briana identifies as bisexual, something that she’d always known to be true, even when she didn’t have the words. Her small town wasn’t the most progressive of places, though, so she didn’t actually know that LGBT people really even existed until she watched a TV show that featured a gay character. Suddenly, the feelings she’d always had inside of her started to make sense. The girls she thought she was just desperate to be friends with, hold hands with, and be around all the time…those were crushes. Still, finding this out, didn’t mean that she was going to tell anyone. She was not only one of the only black kids in her town, but one of the only biracial kids overall. She didn’t need to have the label of queer as well. She kept these feelings to herself all through high school. After all, she told herself, she was still very much attracted to men so it wasn’t like she didn’t get to experience first kisses, flings, and summer romances. It wasn’t until coming into a much more accepting community in college that she really allowed herself to feel things for people of any gender - boys, girls, nonbinary people… She finally felt like she was really being herself.
Ever since she was a very little girl, Bri has loved birds. As a toddler, she could name the types of birds she saw before she fully knew colors or her ABCs. As she grew up, this turned into a bit of an ornithology hobby. She even managed to take a class on it in college. Her graduation present from high school was a beautiful set of strong binoculars that she still has to this day. This love of birds also inspire her to adopt a Lovebird about the time she opened up her shop three years ago, who she named Cherry.
Romance has never really been Briana’s strong suit, in her eyes. Typical high school flings became a series of pseudo-steady relationships in college, but she never really found someone who made her understand what people meant when they said they were in love. This all changed during her senior year when she fell for a girl in one of her theatre groups. After graduation, the two stayed in Boston, moving in together to a small apartment in JP. Two years in, Bri was pretty sure that she’d found her person. Sadie was her reason to wake up in the morning, the person she was going to marry, start a family with, and grow old with. That was until she discovered that Sadie had been cheating on her for nearly six months. Briana’s heart was crushed and her sense of trust shattered. Since then, there has been a blockade inside her, keeping her from forming any real attachments, no matter how many people she dates. Of course, she still wants love. She wants someone to hold and kiss and love unconditionally. She’s also always wanted to have children… She’s just decided maybe it’s not worth the risk.
Bri absolutely loves all things Halloween. People usually think it’s sort of funny since she’s such a bright and friendly person, but she’s always found something really interesting in the macabre. She has little things around her home like skull shaped tea infusers and figurines of pumpkins and spiders. And you can bet she goes 110% for a costume party.
At her core, Briana is the kind of person who wants to see others happy. Generous and caring, she’s the kind of friend you know you can call on no matter what, whether it’s for a word of advice or just a hug and a laugh. Nothing makes her happier than making other people smile. Her worst fear is disappointing other people, which can lead to her getting stepped on or over by other people when they sense her genuine kindness.
Not exactly shy and not exactly the center of attention, Bri has always had a lot of friends but was never the leader. She likes it that way, being able to go from group to group and make people laugh and smile. Her social life has always come easily to her with her pretty face and warm smile. But, despite that, she always has a fear that she’s not liked wherever she goes. It’s a pretty universal feeling, she realizes, but she just can’t stop herself from overthinking - no matter how many friends she has.
Despite her care for others, she can be very particular and is in no way a pushover. If she thinks you are wrong, she will tell you, just in her nicest words. At the heart of it, she is honest, whether that is good or bad: kind in the sense that she wants people to know if something is wrong.
Briana is courageous and adventurous at heart, but had always been someone who hated change. The prospect of her best laid plans going astray is endlessly terrifying to her. She always does her best to always have things as uniform as can be - her college experience, planning where she was going to live, and even the creation of her shop were all done with an intense eye to detail. Maybe that makes her a little uptight, but she doesn’t care.
Bri’s favorite thing in the world is ice cream. It can be in cake, milkshake, or cone form; it doesn’t matter to her. Even in the dead of winter, you can still find her making a run to pick up some Ben and Jerry’s on a Friday night.
Roderick Meeks is a 26 year old cismale who goes by the pronouns he/him.
DOB: January 8 Occupation: bookstore sales associate/musician Face claim: Noah Guthrie Sexuality: Pansexual
get to know the dreamer of doveport:
(tw: bullying, childhood obesity, childhood dieting)
Roderick grew up going to church every Sunday with his grandparents and parents, although his grandparents went for the social aspect, and his parents went for the love of God, he went for the music. Ever since he was small and tottling around he had been drawn to music and the melodies that could be created by various sounds. Hymns were what he called ‘angel songs’ and he loved listening to them, and what’s more - singing. He joined the church choir and felt at ease when up there. Most people would get nervous, but not Roderick, it was the one place where he felt he was truly at home.
On his 10th birthday, months and months of begging and annoying his parents for a guitar finally paid off, and he was gifted one. It was an old spanish style guitar that they’d gotten at a church sale, but to Roderick, it was a new beginning, a way for him to enjoy himself and let out his creative side. It didn’t take long for him to learn chords, and he was taught by a fellow church member, the lessons were cheap, and he was best friends with the woman’s daughter. It made sense.
Playing and writing music had always been a way of letting out his creative side, but once he got into middle school, it became his outlet. Elementary school had been somewhat difficult, but once he hit middle school and the ‘baby chub’ never went away, he became a target for mean girls and some of the guys to tease. Though he was friends with many, more students bullied him. He started missing school and staying home, claiming he was sick, but that didn’t last long and he was forced to deal with the bullying.
When he wasn’t being bullied by the kids at school, his parents were trying to help him get onto a better path. His mom had started restricting what he was eating, making it so that he was only eating between certain hours, and only eating healthy things. The weight still stayed on, and his parents stressed over his size, calling him a failure and that he would never find love if he didn’t shed the pounds.
High school was worse in regards that a lot of his childhood friends backed away from him, but it was the one place where his talents with music were celebrated and he was allowed to focus on them. He was a good student, studied well, but his focus was his music classes. He had a dream of making it big one day, whether he had to go on American Idol or X-Factor, he was determined to be able to let people hear his music.
At the end of High School, Roderick was offered a partial scholarship to the University of NC. He had applied to Julliard, Berklee, and the Manhattan School of Music, but wasn’t accepted. Though UNC Greensboro was not his first choice, it was a good choice for him. It wasn’t too far from home - though he often regarded home as a hell hole - and it allowed him to study more ways to create music and allowed him to make new friends.
During his second year, he moved into student housing with some of his classmates, while there he had a on and off friends with benefits relationship with his friend Wyatt, they had both been curious about their sexuality, but it hadn’t amounted to more than just getting to second base.
Other than his fling with Wyatt, Roderick hasn’t been in a relationship despite him being on dating apps. He has a lot of love to give but sometimes wonders if his parents aren’t right, and that love won’t find him.
Once he graduated, the plan was to move to Los Angeles, but he didn’t have enough money, and has been saving up to go out there for the past couple of years, working at Browsers Books. In the meantime, he’s been trying to record music as much as possible and record videos and put them on youtube, in hopes that he’ll be found.
He’s been living with his grandparents since he graduated college, as he didn’t want to go back home. He told his parents it was to keep an eye on them, but it was really just to get away from his mom and dad’s judgmental stares.
When he’s not recording, listening to music or working, Roderick likes to play video games, read, and work on DIY projects. He’s made his grandparents a new bed, and has helped them fix up their house. He fixes things for them, takes them to appointments and drives them where they need to go, and they let him live there rent free. He just buys his own groceries and lives in the basement. It’s a nice set up and although he wouldn’t mind living alone, he likes knowing he’s close by to help out should his granny and pops need anything.
Roderick is a big fan of the Twilight Saga, though he wouldn’t openly admit that to anything. He read them in secret, and often just says he’s a fan of Game of Thrones so that people will think he’s ‘normal’.
The way to his heart is through Mexican/Latinx influenced food. He eats out when he’s at work, and he without fail, will always go to get something like an enchilada, chulupa or burrito.
Due to the bullying he received from school mates and his parents, Roderick has had boughts of depression throughout his life, he’s on medication and sees a therapist every Thursday afternoon as he finds it helps him keep a clear mind.
He dreams of being successful one day and having a family and marriage filled of love, but is afraid it won’t happen as he can be kind of awkward when it comes to meeting people.
Leah Puckerman is a 24 year old cisfemale who goes by the pronouns she/her.
DOB: November 18 Occupation: bartender at bank bar Face claim: Vanessa Morgan Sexuality: bisexual
get to know the self-reliant of doveport:
The only two people that Leah is close to is her mother and her twin brother, Jake. Her father was never really around long enough for her to have any kind of relationship with him. She knows about her other siblings, but hasn’t really made an effort to get in contact with any of them.
Leah tried so hard to get her father’s attention as a little girl, but he never seemed to care, and then he just left her and Jake forever. This left her with a crippling fear of abandonment, causing her to shut out anyone who tries to get too close.
Because of her fear of abandonment, Leah is very self-reliant. She doesn’t like it when anyone tries to help her.
Leah is very unambitious. She has no desires for her life beyond simply being happy. She didn’t even go to college.
Leah is very temperamental and it’s very easy to anger her.
After suffering from bronchiolitis as a child, Leah developed asthma. Attacks are triggered by air pollution, her allergy to cat hair and cold and flu. She needs to use a combination inhaler everyday and take LTRAs. She also needs a flu shot every year. This never really bothered Leah beyond the occasional hospitalization as a child, however, now that she’s an adult she’s finding that her medical bills are through the roof and it’s really stressing her out. She tried to cut costs recently by skipping out on her flu jab and taking a holiday from work over the flu season, but she wound up hospitalized with the flu and has only just been discharged with even more debt. She hasn’t told anyone why she didn’t get a flu shot.
Leah is proud of her Jewish routes, but due to her lack of a relationship with her father, doesn’t practice the religion.
She lives in a small one bedroom apartment.
She owns a motorcycle, because it’s cheaper to run than a car.
She has a dog called Jovi, who she loves a lot.
Leah has had her fair share of affairs over the years, but she has never had a boyfriend or girlfriend, nor does she plan on having one.
Leah has always been very passionate about music. She is a great singer and guitarist, and this passion was encouraged when she went to school. Rock music was a great way for her to express her anger. She joined a band when she left school and they promote their music on social media.
Before working as a bartender, she was barista up until the age of 21. She prefers bar tending.
Leah has never left Doveport before in her life. She would like to, but money has always been an issue.
She loves the X-Men movies.
Evelyn Josephine Fabray is a 25 year old cisfemale who goes by the pronouns she/her.
DOB: July 14th Occupation: owner of Beachside Ice Cream Face claim: Margot Robbie Sexuality: pansexual
get to know the sapphire of doveport:
Evelyn Fabray came into the world on July 14th to Russell and Judy Fabray. As the Fabray’s youngest daughter, her primary responsibilities growing up were to be prim and proper. Of course, being born into an extremely wealthy family meant she always had the nicest clothes, newest phone and the best education, but Evie’s heart still stood firmly on the ground.
From a young age, she was very independent, she always wanted to do things for herself. Alas, she did keep to the activities her parents set out for her. Every day, she practiced on the piano, studied French, and endured it all in order to become a well-off young woman.
She is one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet, that’s for sure. If you were awful and rude to Evie, it wouldn’t phase her, she would still be a saint to you.
Optimistic, a thing Evie chooses to be. Happiness is a choice, and it’s a choice that Evie tries to make every single day. She doesn’t always succeed, but she puts up a good front. Again this might harken back to people believing she’s false; but it isn’t like that for her.
Evie likes to plan out her life, sometimes down to the last detail and is scared of losing control and taking risks, which sometimes stops her from following her heart.
Evelyn is very confident and outspoken in her opinions and seldom likes being told what to do. She has a tendency to sing what she wants to say, instead of just saying it. Evelyn is shown to do this more often if people try to get her to stop.
During her first year of high school, spent the majority of her time as a member of the Cheer Squad and took to gymnastics to further improve her cartwheels. After her second year, she was named the head cheerleader, the youngest in the school’s history, which pleased her parents greatly.
Got skills that kills in volleyball, soccer and surfing.
Being a straight A student and having extra-circulars on the side, her only real relief outside of studying was cooking. From the time she was a little girl, Evie dreamed of having an ice cream shop. Becoming the official baker and ice cream maker of the family, she passionately read every cookbook and food magazine she could find.
At the age of 17, Evie began taking weekend cooking classes, courses which she credits to her foundation of ice cream skills, and helped give her the confidence to move forward with her dream. Four years later — after a lot of hard work and dedication along with a couple of setbacks, Evelyn set up her new ice cream shop in Beachside, Beachside ice cream.
Evie has an obsession with the golden age of Hollywood and oldies music, especially Elvis Presley.
Evie likes to collect empty perfume bottles and shoe boxes, it’s something that she can’t force herself to get rid of, they remind her of certain events and times of her life. She has a problem throwing anything sentimental away.
After a drunken night while she was studying abroad in France, Evie got a tattoo on her hip and is embarrassed of it, she hasn’t had the chance to look at having it removed.
As far as dating goes, Evie is a flirt. She has no shame in admitting it either, because when she feels attracted to someone, she openly expresses it. She’s somewhat of a romantic, even if she doesn’t need some public display of affection to have feelings for another person. She loves communication, and that’s the key thing she looks for in others, relationship or otherwise.
Evie believes there’s a clear cut difference between flirting and dating, and she would never continue her flirtatious and bubbly personality with more than one person when a strong connection was there with only one. She knows what she wants, and when she figures it out, there’s nothing that can really stop her from trying to get it.
Elliott Mitchell Gilbert is a 29 year cis male who goes by the pronouns he/him.
DOB: January 29 Occupation: recording artist signed with Talon Records in NYC Face claim: Adam Lambert Sexuality: gay
get to know the rock star of doveport:
Elliott was born and raised in Paramus, NJ – just close enough to NYC to grow up in the shadow of its reputation, and to be exposed to a huge array of cultural experiences.
His parents were firmly middle class. His mother Marianne was a middle school art teacher and gave private art lessons on the side, and his father Ray was a certified public accountant. His mother’s strong artistic influence led to Elliott developing his own methods of self-expression from a young age, including learning to alter and sew his own clothes when he wanted something with a little more flair.
The performance bug first bit when Elliott was cast as Schroeder in his 5th grade production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. He started with voice lessons, and added piano and guitar as he got older. By the time he reached high school, Elliott had branched out to explore different genres of music, and he convinced his parents to let him take periodic trips into the city for shows and concerts.
Despite his dad’s career, Ray had an attic full of old vinyl records that Elliott discovered one summer. As his own personal style continued to take shape, he took refuge in the creation of a much more daring alter ego – an homage of sorts to the music his father’s collection introduced him to, heavily influenced by David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust period. His ‘Starchild’ persona continued to evolve as he grew older, but it gave him a creative outlet as well as a means of self-expression.
As a high school senior, all of Elliott’s college applications went towards schools in New York. NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts offered him a place (for Performance Studies) with enough of a scholarship to make it worth his while, so he threw himself into his classes, while starting to play local clubs on the side whenever possible.
After graduating with his degree, Elliott focused on his music, and was eventually scouted during an amateur cabaret night at a local gay club, mostly because of his unique vocal range and flamboyant stage presence. Within two years of finishing school he’d been signed to a recording contract, and Starchild started playing larger and larger venues around New York.
His first album dropped the following year, and garnered significant airplay. He scored a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, but lost that year to Chance the Rapper. Still, his music was creating buzz, and it was enough for him to make a name for himself and build a surprisingly dedicated (albeit ecclectic) fan base.
His second album was released midway through 2018, and charted 4 singles by the end of the year. To capitalize on his success, he went on tour the following year, and while he hasn’t yet reached household name status, he’s moderately recognizable in his stage persona, enough that it’s started to become an issue. Fortunately, outside of ‘Starchild’, Elliott Gilbert is much harder to pick out in a crowd, so he still maintains a measure of privacy.
Once his tour wound down, Elliott started looking for a quieter base of operations, away from the chaos of New York. He still keeps an apartment in the city, but a small, private beach house on the coast of North Carolina seemed like a good investment for when he needed downtime to relax away from the public eye, as well as someplace he could work on new music in relative peace.
He isn’t exactly hiding who he is, but he’s not advertising it either. As long as he can be just plain Elliott without the pressures and trappings of Starchild, he doesn’t mind signing the occasional autograph or stopping for photos when someone actually does recognize him without the costume.
Elliott isn’t a terrible cook – he’s just limited in what he knows how to make. Pretty much the only thing he knows how to cook well is curry. It’s his favorite food, and he spent quite a bit of time learning recipes with his mom before moving to New York – but it means his cooking options are pretty slim.
Most of Elliott’s musical taste comes from his dad. The boxes packed away in the attic included an impressive collection of punk, rock, and glam rock, everything from David Bowie and Elton John to Queen and Cher. While he enjoys current music, the more ostentatious, eccentric artists of the 70s and early 80s have always fascinated him.
Despite Starchild’s flair for the dramatic, Elliott himself is much more grounded and mild-mannered. He doesn’t have much patience for drama unless he’s creating it onstage, and he’s more likely to spend a weekend in yoga classes than out at a club. He gets all the excitement he needs when he’s onstage and in character, and likes to live a little quieter the rest of the time.
Starchild is prone to leather and rhinestones and heavy eyeliner and platform heels. Elliott is much more comfortable in jeans and henleys and soft flannel shirts over faded band t-shirts. The only part of his style that carries over to both is the piercings and tattoos – he’s accumulated quite a collection over the years, and considers them just as much a part of his artistic expression as his music.
Elliott identifies as gay, but he considers himself more fluid than fixed when it comes to his sexuality. He doesn’t rule out women entirely, he’s just never found himself attracted to one.
Paisley Anne Pierce is a 22 year old cisfemale who goes by the pronouns she/her.
DOB: August 11 Occupation: bartender/tattoo artist Face claim: Sophie Turner Sexuality: pansexual
get to know the girl next door of doveport:
Paisley grew up in a very tight knit family, which worked perfectly for her as her family was the centre of her world, not a day goes by that she doesn’t communicate with them
she has an extremely close relationship with her mother but has always been known as more of a daddy’s girl
though she’s very close with her parents, there’s nobody on planet Earth that she looks up to more than her siblings, each for different reasons for their own individual strengths, she would be lost without their guidance
her favorite place in the world is the basement of her parents home, where she spent almost every day of her childhood, either playing with her siblings or just spending time alone reading or drawing.
Ever since she could remember, Paisley absolutely loved drawing and always relied on art as an escape from reality when things got even the slightest bit difficult, it was her coping mechanism and she hoped that one day she could turn that passion into a career
people often assume she’s just another ditsy blonde but she is actually quite intelligent, though she doesn’t really take offence when people can’t see that straight away
growing up Paisley was always known as an optimist, some even going as far as to call her naïve but the girl just preferred to see the good in every situation rather than the bad
though now she’s blossomed into adulthood, the girl has learnt a lot of lessons along the way about not letting others take advantage of her good heart
when she was in her freshman year of high school, Paisley met the boy of her dreams, the two fell quickly for each other as teenagers often do and ended up getting married shortly after they graduated, much to the dismay of her parents who believed the two were just swept up in the idea of a high school romance
her parents intuition proved correct when her husband moved six hours away to attend college and their relationship soon began to feel the effects of long distance, they both slowly began to realise they were living separate lives and found they had less and less time to give one another
after two years of marriage the couple decided to call it quits, though never officially going through with a divorce due to financial strain. They vowed to keep in touch but haven’t spoken in months
Through the break up Paisley relied heavily on her artistic outlet, pouring herself into her work as a means of working through her feelings
When she began uploading certain pieces of work online she would have messages from people, near and far asking for her to draw up designs for tattoos and the moment she began that process she fell head over heels for it, knowing that someone would have something she’d designed on them forever made her heart skip a beat
Soon after she turned 21, Paisley picked up a job as a bartender which slowly but surely got her out socializing in the real world once again and also helped her get her name out as an artist, after working at the same club for a few months, she got to know a local tattoo shop owner who agreed to take her under his wing and show her everything he knew
Now, working two jobs – the girl is finally starting to feel like she’s actually becoming an adult, living and learning all on her own

get to know the rich kid of doveport:
(tw: drug use)
Born into a hotel dynasty, André is the sole heir to his parents’ fortune.
His father owns luxury hotels all across the west coast and his mother was a young French starlet when the couple got married. However, their relationship was mostly PR, and their little family was really only picturesque when there were literal cameras around. The Berry family was always, if only a little, dysfunctional.
Starting at the age of 14, André attended an all boys boarding school. He was on the swim and lacrosse teams, and was also the winner of several debate competitions.
As a young teenager, André began a relationship with his much older piano teacher one summer. When his mother found out, she simply stated that he should be grateful to have such incredibly progressive parents who don’t mind him hooking up with other men in their house.
The two made plans to run away together, but André father found out about it and paid the man to go away and he accepted the offer. It turned out that he was just running away with André so that when the boy turned 18, he could take his inheritance. André was heartbroken.
André was an “okay” student. He definitely wasn’t getting straight A’s, but he made sure he wasn’t failing either as that would cause his father to come down to the school to create a scene. It wasn’t that André was dumb, it was that he put in no effort into his studies. His life was already laid out for him, so what was the point of trying to be an overachiever?
After graduation, his parents used their influence to make sure that he got into a good university to pursue a business degree.
André firmly believes that if he had not been born into a family dynasty, he would have become a great lawyer.
André’s first decision as partner in the company was to expand and he headed to New York for the next few years. While in New York, André maintained a steady diet of parties, celebrities and drugs.
He’s not a relationship type of guy. After having his heart broken as a teenager, he has no interest in pursuing a real relationships - they simply don’t seem worth the trouble.
A few weeks before the New York hotel was to open, a celebrity sex tape got released which also showcased André. He didn’t particularly care, as he saw it, all publicity was good publicity - but his father was furious.
His father sent him to his cousins in Doveport, NC, in hopes that the small town would keep him from ruining the family name.
André is getting his MBA from doveport college.
He loves to swim. Every time André needs some time for himself, he’ll do a few laps in the pool.
He can come off as a narcissistic elitist, but André is very protective of the people that he cares about.
Dylan Eric Evans is a 38 year old cismale who goes by the pronouns he/him.
DOB: September 21 Occupation: art teacher at doveport middle school Face claim: Chris Evans Sexuality: bisexual
get to know the fun-loving guy of doveport:
Dylan came as a surprise to his parents as they were still in high school when Leslie found out she was pregnant. They named him after Bob Dylan, a favorite musician of theirs. His parents did not get married until Dylan was five. This was due to Leslie (Dwight Evans’ sister) uncertainty with whether or not Derek could commit to she and their son. Her hunch was correct as they divorced when Dylan was sixteen. He left them for another family he had on the side.
Things weren’t always fantastic when it came to his family life but Dylan made the most with what they had. He’d tune out his parents’ arguments with his headphones. He’d listen to the local Nashville classic rock stations and draw.
His drawings served as an escape and consisted of different things. There was still life, cartoon characters from his favorite show, even recreations of DC and Marvel characters from his favorite comics. As he got older his confidence in his work grew and he’d create his own characters and scenes, but he favored scenery the most. He ventured into studying famous painters such as Munch, Pollock, Van Gogh, Monet, etc.
Things didn’t get better with his parents’ marriage and Dylan would spend time away from home with friends. They’d do usual things like ride their bike around the neighborhood, buy candy at the convenience store, hang at their houses. When he was about thirteen he had his first beer. By fourteen he tried pot.
He found smoking helped with the anxiety which came from watching his parents’ marriage fall apart before his very eyes. That mixed with music and his drawings he became such a quiet kid when he was at home. However, when out with friends and others he was all about having fun and getting the most out of life. Even by the time he was fifteen he landed his first job delivering newspapers and eventually working at the local dollar theater.
It came as no surprise when his parents split, Dylan glad it finally happened. He spent that year helping his mom get her life in order. He’d work various jobs and this took its toll on his social life and grades.
Besides music and his drawings/paintings, Dylan loves to watch movies. His taste varies from classics to current blockbusters.
After high school he spent a couple years traveling the US in his old jeep. He met many people and got to experience all kinds of things. He’d crash at people’s houses, some he met that day, or would stay in a hotel.
When he returned home to Nashville he put himself through college, which is where he met Hannah. Unlike the other people he dated Hannah really caught his eye. She was beautiful, intelligent, and creative. They shared a couple art classes together.
They were friends for a few years, hanging out with the same people and going to the same places. When they were 25 they started to date. A year and a half later Hannah told Dylan she was pregnant and he proposed on the spot. They married shortly after.
When Ava was four, the small family decided to go for a birthday dinner, as it was Hannah’s birthday. On their way home they were in a horrific car accident. It was a miracle Ava and Dylan survived but Hannah perished on the scene.
Dylan and Ava moved in with his mom while he underwent physical therapy for his knee and back. He started to smoke pot again to help with the pain. This was done in secret as he doesn’t want this mom to know. When he was well enough to work he found employment as a substitute art teacher, who doubled as a theater teacher as well when needed.
They lived with his mom for a few years, up until Ava was ten. By this time Dylan saved enough money to afford a house of their own. Around this time his mom’s current boyfriend moved in and as great as it was to have Ava close to her grandmother, being thirty and living at home was really cramping Dylan’s dating life.
During his house search he checked out different cities, besides Nashville, and noticed the housing market and cost of living in Doveport wasn’t half bad. His cousins lived there which was a plus because he’d be close to family.
Prior to buying a house Dylan applied for a job as the art teacher at Doveport Middle School. When he flew in for the interview he was surprised to be offered the position a mere few hours later. Ava and Dylan made the move at the start of May and are still in the unpacking process. During the summer he’ll help with summer school and help organize art programs for summer camp.
